Domaine, Henri Rebourseau other_regions_australia A subtle application of wood

A subtle application of wood frames a ripe but elegant and well-layered nose that consists of aromas of essence of pear

but balanced by a sense of elegance and lift with liquorice root notes

mouth coating

with an elegantly textural attack and a creamy core of fruit that's underpinned by a bright but nicely integrated spine of acidity

all perfectly interwoven

Domaine, Henri Rebourseau other_regions_australia A subtle application of woodHere too the nose is clearly ripe if a bit more elegant with its array of plum liqueur, earth and soft floral nuances. The finer medium bodied flavors also possess a seductive mouthfeel thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that buffers the very firm tannic spine supporting the lingering finale where the only nit is a hint of warmth. This is definitely ripe and quite plush but serious that is also well worth checking out.
